Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Graduate/Professional Degree Programs 2024–2025 212 C. Suspension Suspension bars a student from attending school for a defined period of time if, in the opinion of the dean, the student has not attained the academic level and/or has deviated from the academic standards and/or standards of behavior established by the college. A suspended student will be removed from the academic enrollment with revocation of all other privileges or activities, including the privilege of entering the campus for a specified period of time. A student who chooses to appeal a suspension must do so within 10 business days of the date of suspension (see Grievances and Appeals section below). While appealing a suspension, a student may continue to attend classes and take all examinations in the usual manner. Suspension is included in the calculation of the program-specific limit for completing all graduation requirements. Suspension cannot be less than the remainder of the academic year if the interruption to classes and field experiences will result in the failure of current courses. D. Dismissal Dismissal is the permanent termination of a student’s academic enrollment. As with all disciplinary actions, the dean is responsible for imposing this recommendation. A student who chooses to appeal a dismissal must do so within 10 business days of the date of dismissal (see the Grievances and Appeals section below). While appealing a dismissal, a student may continue to attend classes and take all examinations in the usual manner. The reasons for which a student may be dismissed from the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine include, but are not limited to, • failure of courses amounting to 6 or more credit hours of coursework. Any failing (F) grade received will be counted toward this total regardless of whether the course was repeated and passed. In such cases, no form of remediation will be permitted. Repeating a course failed during one academic year does not remove it from the total failures allowed. In cases of second course failure, retaking the course will not be permitted. • exceeding the term limit for completing all graduation requirements. The leave of absence does not extend the term limit. • circumstances of a legal, moral, behavioral, ethical, or academic nature that warrant such action.
